Lwfw any one had probs

[coffey555]

It is pretty quiet up at Glentress at night but the next time I am out I will have a good look around!

Ah, the days of walking to the local Esso garage at night to buy a copy of Fiesta discreetly placed under Gardeners World so the old woman behind you would not tut in disgust.

Not that it ever worked though, the cashier always made a show of getting the barcode to scan the git.

Youth of today don't know how good they have it with the internet!

Really? I thought that sort of stuff was just made up for the benefit of readers of Razzle in the letters pages. Not that I ever read it of course, much prefered Club International.

Anyway, glad they have equal rights down your way, the gays are entitled to a bit of outdoor/backdoor action as well, just keep your head down and look at the front wheel.....

And hope you don't have to stop and fix a puncture!

Are you telling him to 'grin and bear it'?

[coffey555]

No, but what happens in carrot canyon stays in carrot canyon.......

[John Johnson]

Or up carrot canyon

[coffey555]

Indeed!

[coffey555]

Just noticed the reference to piles in your sig

[coffey555]

Fiesta is but a smokescreen! And that Whyte is pretty much a xc bike!

[John Johnson]

Just noticed the reference to piles in your sig

Lol .... Fook off











If I had piles I'd be more concerned with dumping a load rather than have some saucy type stick something up it to dump his load ..... Fark that

Sorry I am dislexic can not read to good or spell but I got a home a 20k rs4 a 7k quad bike along with other cars all payed for so don't think I done to bad .....just to think the teachers at school said I would be going now where in life so never judge a book by its cover and don't be a hater just want a bit of advice off you brain boxes off here

Fair play to you! U sound like my type of bloke!
All thease key board warriors on here! If u seen them out in a pub
They would be hiding under the tables!

Yes mate there defo some train spotters on here and they all did good as school went to collage to get a good job and I bet I still earn more a week than thay do in a month

Haha you took the words right out my mouth mate!
Its the type of kid that was in your class at school sat right at the front with the teacher lol

[John Johnson]

Glad I never managed to get to collage then , mind you my fortnightly giro pays for my rs4 so happy days .....

Both issues would deeply trouble me but more so because I only sold my comfort seats 6 months ago!

So, getting back on topic it is not the single mass flywheel causing the starting issues then?

I wonder if the new master cylinder is aligned correctly so that it is contacting the clutch switch when fully depressed?

Fault gone audi sent me the wrong clutch switch changed it today and epc light gone cars running ok for now off to nurburing again in 2 weeks see haw it gets on there

WTF - all this 'cos the guy cannot spell particularly well but is proud to be making a decent living anyway? If he is paying his taxes, he has my respect. Sheesh - let's move on and get back to talking cars?

Am I wrong in thinking that the point of a lightened flywheel is to reduce the effort needed by the motor to build revs (since there is less weight to rotate) therefor making the motor rev more freely, with the possible downside being that revs drop faster too? (ie. losing speed faster) Thinking logically, I cannot see why would a lightened flywheel would cause any problems elsewhere. Perhaps the design of the engine relies on the fact that there is a certain amount of weight related resistance to balance the nature of the engines components? Thoughts?

Yes that is why lwfw is great. Faster revs and effectively freeing up horsepower

No there is not balance needed (in the way you mentioned it) ...it is internally balanced at the crank for one, and for two, the r8 4.2 uses a lwfw with this engine's non fraternal twin

Most oems avoid lwfw due to drivability issues (quicker falling revs mean it is a little different but not much) and in a four door avant or limo it can be something some people don't like. On a sports car like the r8 it is a small sacrifice for some performance gain and sporting feel. Well worth it. Enthusiasts love them though and I can't imagine too many non enthusiasts bought the rs4 so I think quattro goofed in not giving us one

R8 gearbox location also means transmission noise won't be intrusive.

Jamie. Do you have the part number of the correct clutch switch that audi sent you?

I bought both switches a while back after having a starting issue where the car would not recognise that the clutch pedal was depressed. I changed only the lower one. However, last week I discovered that the cruise control was not working so changed out the other (upper) switch. Cruise control now works but almost immediately the EPC light came on and I get the following fault code which is new since changing the switch.
